Chapter 29: It's also in my plan

He keenly observed that as the pieces of meat were squeezed and wound more and more vigorously, the "green strip" on the top of Li Qing's head was constantly shortening.

It's like a video game with a health bar floating above a character's head.

"Could it be..."

"Does this represent his life force?"

Giorno roughly guessed the meaning of the blood bar on Li Qing's head, but he immediately saw from the declining blood volume that the situation was not good at this time:

Li Qing's blood volume seems to be a little insufficient.

He had been rubbed off more than half of his health by the damn piece of flesh as he escaped from the woods.

Fortunately, for more than a minute after escaping to the bus, there were other people helping to attract hatred, and he was able to slowly replenish his HP back to 80% with his 0.5%/s life recovery.

But that's not enough.

After all, this piece of meat is not the same as it was a minute ago.

A little over a minute ago, this monster was probably no bigger than a pig.

And now, after devouring the energy of the bus engine, it has swelled to the size of a car.

Being bound, squeezed, and devoured by this huge monster, Li Qing's feeling is certainly not too good.

82%... 61%... 42%...

His health began to plummet at an exaggerated rate.

Finally, at the critical moment when the health value dropped to a pitiful 30%, and if it lasted two more seconds, it would be dead, Li Qing made a move:

"Echo Strike!!"

His body quickly turned into an ungraspable "virtual body", and he broke free in an instant... No.... It's ignoring the restraint of that piece of meat.

Li Qing's body pierced directly through the tough and thick flesh of the flesh, and soared into the sky at an extremely exaggerated speed.

And the target he broke through, needless to say, was naturally the fat pigeon that was branded by him from the beginning.

"I see!"

Giorno understood Li Qing's plan.

Li Qing is busy now, so Giorno helps to do a part-time job of narration next to him:

"The ability he's using now is the same one he used when he first boarded the bus."

"At that time, he was able to pass through the wall without the barrier of the outer shell of the carriage, and now, he can also use it to get rid of the shackles of the flesh!"

At this time, the meat cube also reacted.

Li Qing's echo attack was faster than the high-speed train advancing at full speed, but this monster, which could not be understood with common sense at all, broke out on the spot with a terrifying speed that was not inferior to Li Qing at all.

It suddenly contracted its flesh, turning itself into rubber and spring, and then bounced into the air with the powerful elastic potential energy accumulated in its own flesh.

"It's useless!"

Giorno subconsciously shook his head on the side:

"Even if it could catch up with Mr. Bald in mid-air, it wouldn't be able to stop Mr. Bald from escaping."

"Because in this state of sudden advancement, his body is absolutely 'nothing' and cannot be restrained."

The truth is as Giorno thought:

The bouncing power of the meat block with no upper limit of speed was amazing, and he caught up with Li Qing who was soaring in mid-air with a single jump.

However, this did not work.

It was like a monkey struggling to catch the reflection of the moon in the water, and finally slapped its tentacles on Li Qing's body, but it immediately penetrated through the void mirror.

Li Qing's soaring figure was not affected in any way, but he lost some blood slightly.

He was only 22% HP left.

But it didn't matter, because the piece of meat couldn't catch up with Li Qing anymore.

Yes, even if its speed was definitely faster than Li Qing, it wouldn't be able to keep up with Li Qing inch by inch like it had caught up with the bus from the woods before.

Because....

"You can't fly, can you?!"

"Hahahaha...."

Li Qing laughed out loud with relief:

"Cuts of meat are just pieces of meat, no matter how fast you are, you can't grow wings!"

"Relying on the bounce power alone, I can't catch up with me!"

This is the core of his escape plan -

The target of his escape was not land, but the sky, where the piece of meat would never be able to catch up.

Li Qing had just taken the risk of using himself as bait in order to buy time for the fat pigeon to fly higher and farther.

At this moment....

A fat pigeon with a sonic mark, flying at an altitude of about 150 meters in the air.

Li Qing, who rose into the sky with the help of the echo, had already advanced upwards to a height of about 60 meters.

Although the bouncing force of that bloated piece of flesh was incredibly powerful, it exhausted all its kinetic energy after successfully touching Li Qing once, and entered a state of free fall under the action of gravity at a position of about 40 meters.

"Using the stand-in ability of 'Void' to escape into the air, not only helped me detract the monster, but also allowed me to get away from the pursuit safely."

"What a perfect escape plan..."

Giorno on the ground sighed heartily.

However, he had just breathed a sigh of relief for Li Qing, and the situation was not right.

I saw that the piece of flesh that had begun to fall down suddenly twitched violently, and it was actually at an extremely terrifying speed, quickly squirming and deforming in mid-air.

It is like a dough, round and large at first, but now it suddenly becomes long and wide under a huge force of "kneading and pulling".

Then, it snapped to its downward spiral and swooped upwards a significant distance.

This is not because the piece of meat has grown wings, but because it "throws" itself into the sky.

Yes....

It used its flexible and changeable body as a slingshot, and then turned a part of its body into a projectile and shot it out quickly towards Li Qing in the sky.

A normal creature would surely die if it lost half its size of flesh, but this chunk of flesh would not.

It had no organs, no bones, no brains, just an evil and twisted mass of flesh.

Therefore, even if half of its flesh and blood are discarded as tools, it can still survive in good shape.

That's it....

The piece of flesh that was thrown away as a "slingshot" fell weakly downwards after detaching from its main body.

When it falls more than a certain distance from the main body, the part away from the main body turns into ashes in the air.

And the other part, the body of the piece of meat that was ejected as a "projectile", is currently chasing Li Qing in the sky at a frightening speed.

It's fast.

Even if Li Qing was still in a state of high-speed advance of the echo attack, he couldn't get rid of this terrifying piece of flesh to pursue in the end.

"Damn..."

"It can even be like a three-stage booster rocket, when the kinetic energy is exhausted, it can provide upward thrust to the 'warhead' as the main body one by one!"

Li Qing couldn't help but be shocked.

And he also recognized the harsh reality that he was about to be overtaken.

To make matters worse, he only had 22% of his health left.

As a high-level player who often shows off his opponents, Li Qing has a very accurate grasp of his blood.

This 22% of the blood volume is actually the insurance life value that he specially left after mastering the height of the fat pigeon and estimating the subsequent high-altitude fall damage.

If it is less than a few percent, then even if the piece of meat does not swallow Li Qing, he is very likely to fall to his death because of falling from a height.

This means....

At this moment, Li Qing's blood volume can't be dropped at all.

Just let that piece of flesh touch his body, and he's already lost.

It's a dead end.

Because Li Qing is still in the state of rushing forward with the echo attack, in this state, he can't control himself.

He could only watch as the piece of flesh sprang into the sky like a rocket on fire, rapidly approaching his body.

In the next moment, the piece of meat that shot up was about to catch up with Li Qing.

He's going to die.

Unless...

Unless suddenly something faster appears to attract the attention of the meat walker.

However, in this sky, in this short moment, suddenly find an object that is faster than the speed of the echo strike...

This...

Is it possible?

......

Absolutely!

"Although the way your monster chased it was a bit surprising, but the fact that you caught up in the air..."

Li Qing was extremely nervous, and gave birth to extreme excitement:

"But it's also in my plan!"

Giorno didn't notice it, and it was even more impossible for the brainless piece of meat to notice, only Li Qing noticed:

In this sky, a voice that enveloped the heavens and the earth had already sounded.

The sound was overwhelming, almost sweeping through the small half of the city.

And when Li Qing was about to be caught up by the meat piece, this tsunami-like sound wave just reached its peak.

"That's..."

Giorno on the ground finally set his sights outside the battlefield, outside of Li Qing and the meat block.

He finally noticed the mysterious object that was passing at high speed from the low altitude of the city, emitting this manic sound:

"That's what I've been flying over Naples for the past few days..."

"Supersonic fighter!"
